Description

Using the influential and field-changing "Writing Culture" as a point of departure, the thirteen essays in "Writing Culture and the Life of Anthropology" address anthropology's past, present and future. The contributors, all leading figures in anthropology today, reflect back on the "writing culture" movement of the 1980s, consider its influences on ethnographic research and writing, and debate what counts as ethnography in a post-"Writing Culture" era. They address questions of ethnographic method, new forms the presentation of research might take, and the anthropologist's role. Exploring themes such as late-industrialism, precarity, violence, science and technology, globalization, and the non-human world, this book is essential reading for those looking to understand the current state of anthropology and its possibilities going forward. Contributors. Anne Allison, James Clifford, Michael M.J. Fischer, Kim Fortun, Richard Handler, John L. Jackson, Jr., George E. Marcus, Charles Piot, Hugh Raffles, Danilyn Rutherford, Orin Starn, Kathleen Stewart, Michael Taussig, Kamala Visweswaran Review "This volume's contributors offer lively and provocative readings and show the legacy of "Writing Culture" in their reflexive first-person accounts of fieldwork and teaching. The authors experiment not only with writing but also with new kinds of topics that are reframing the field. All write with wit, creativity, and a passion to secure anthropology's contemporary and future relevance." --Faye Ginsberg, coeditor of"Media Worlds: Anthropology on New Terrain" From the Author Orin Starn is Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Duke University.
